PAPER RECEPTACLE OR CONTAINER.

Application filed May 31, 1921. Serial No. 473,950.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, IRVING STANLEY, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of the borou h of Manhattan, in the city, county, and btateof New York, have invented certain new and useful Improved PaperReceptacles or Containers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to paper receptacles or containers usually madeof truncated cone shape in which the receptacle is formed by shaping asheet of material, such as paper, to tubular form with the longitudinaledges secured together in overlapped relation, applying a closure to oneend of the tube to form an open end receptacle, and subjecting thereceptacle so formed to a parafining bath, and it is the primary objectof the invention to provide improved means to secure the overlappededges of the rolled sheet together and secure the closure in the one endof the tube.

Receptacles or containers of this character, as stated, are made oftruncated cone shape together with a closure disk applied to the end ofgreatest diameter. In closing the open end of the receptacle said end iscollapsed so that the opposite portions of the container or receptaclewill lie contiguous to each other, and in such position are securedtogether, and it is afurther object of the invention to provide improvedmeans for securing the collapsed end of the receptacle in closedcondition.

In the drawing accompanying and forming a part of this specification,Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved container orreceptacle,"portions being broken away to show the manner of applyingthe securing strip to the overlapped longitudinal edges, and to show themanner of securing the closure disk in one end of the receptacle.

Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 but showing the open end of thereceptacle collapsed and the closure means secured thereto.

Figure 3 is a sectional detail view of the collapsed end of thereceptacle to show the manner of applying the closure means there to.

Figure 4 is a perspective view of a tion of the closure strip; and

Figure 5 is a perspective view in section ofa portio of a disk closure.

Similar 'c aracters of reference designate like parts throughout thedifferent views of the drawing. v

In the embodiment ofthe invention shown in the drawingthe container orreceptacle is formed .from a previous cut sheet or blank shaped to forma tube 6 of truncated'conical form with the longitudinal edges inoverlapped relation, as shown at 7. The overlapped edges are securedtogether inoverlapped relation by applying thereto a gummed strip ofmaterial 8, such as paper. After the sheet has been formed to tubularshape a closure is applied to the'end of the tube of greatest diameterto constitute the bottom of the receptacle, this closure comprising adisk 9 peripherally flanged as at 10, said flanged disk being insertedinto the end of the tube with the flange extending outward with the edgeof the flange substantially flushed with the end of the tube when thejuxtaposed portions of" the disk flange and tube are upset by rollingthe same inward, as shown at 11, thereby firmly securing the closure 9in the tube against movement longitudinally of the tube, when thereceptacle is completed. The receptacle in this shape is then subjectedto a parafining bath, not only making the material of the containerimpervious to liquid and moisture but the parafine impregnates thematerial of the securing strip 8 positively sealing the container at theoverlapped, edges, and also sealing the connected portions of theclosure 9 with the container.

After the receptacle is filled to close the open end 12, (Figure 1) theupper endof the tube is collapsed so that opposite portions of the tubewill lie contiguous to each other as shown at 13 in Figure 3. The openendof the tube is secured in this collapsed condition by a strip ofmetal 14: having prongs 15 stamped therefrom of substantially triangularshape as shown in Figure 4, said prongs'being arranged in staggeredrelation extending longitudinally of the strip. The stripis applied toone side of the collapsed end when the strip prongs are forced throughthe material of the collapsed end of the receptacle, as shown at 16 inFigure 3, when said ends are upset at the side opposite to which thestrip is located. To open the container thetube with the closing strip14 is torn or cut oil", and should only a. portion of the contents ofthe con.

- claim 1. As a new article of manufacture, a paper receptacle orcontainer comprising a sheet of material formed to tubular shape withthe longitudinal edges in overlapped relation and secured together by anadhesive strip applied to the outer side of the overlapped edges, and aperipherally flanged disk inserted in one end of the tube, and securedtherein by rolling the disk flange and end portion of the receptacletogether, thereby forming an open end receptacle, the opposite end ofthe receptacle being adapted to be collapsed to close said end of there-' ceptacle.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a paper receptacle or containercomprising a sheet of material formed to frusto-conical shape with thelongitudinal edges in overlapped relation and secured in rolledcondition by an adhesive strip applied to the outer side of theoverlapped edges, a peripherally flanged disk engaging in the end of thetube of larger diameter and secured mamas therein by rolling thematerial of the disk flange and tube inwardly, and a parafined coatingapplied to the inside and outside of the receptacle so formed for thepurpose specified. a

3. As a new article of manufacture, a paper receptacle or containercomprising a sheet of material formed to truncated cone shape with thelongitudinal edges in overlapped relation and secured in rolledcondition by an adhesive strip applied to the outer side of theoverlapped edges, a peripherally flanged disk engaging in one end of thetube and secured therein by rolling the material of the disk flange andtube inwardly, and a parafined coating applied to the receptacle soformed, and the open end of the receptacle adapted to be collapsed toclose the receptacle and secured in closed condition by a pliablemetallic strip arranged with prongs applied to the outer side of thereceptacle with the strip prongs forced through the material of thecollapsed end of the receptacle andupset at the side opposite to whichthe strip is applied.
